Have three sally light foots that are starting to molt. Should the sheds be taken out or if left in will they eventually be comsumed by anything?

But what does each LOOK like? How do I know which one I have in my tank? I guess that should have been my first qustion

Ok thanks, but what are the characteristics of the two and how do I get rid of the brown algea? By the way it is reD slime not reS slime! ;)

I am a fire fighter in Des Moines, Iowa

What is the difference between the two and what gets rid of either one?

I have been told it takes longer then three weeks before your tank cycles. I would wait close to two months before you start to add things and then do it slowly. Bottom line....take your time.

Any one recommend the best light to use to look in your tank to see the nocturnal species in the tank? Something that doesn't scare everything as easily as a normal flash light does. I thought I had read some where that a red light works well.

Just send an email to them right away. Chances are your pkg. won't go out until late tomorrow since they don't send things out on weekends. HTH

ok, thanks. Just wondered cuz all the tanks I have seen in lfs and on the net do not have ANY plant life on them.

What is micro vert?

I have a lot of green plants on my live rock. Is it ok to pull them out by hand or is there a better way?

what does the thing look like that your hermits are eating. More then likely it's just some sort of algea and that is ok, that's what they are supposed to do. I recieved 25 of them a couple days ago and they are going crazy on the algea!

Do a search on the internet for them. I think you will see that they are very hard to keep, especially with other fish.....they won't eat and will starve to death. Best kept in an aquarium with just themselves. HTH

They are dead. :mad: Thanks to everyone who posted a response! They still are under the 7 day gaurantee from SWF so will get them replaced.

I am in the same position as you right now. Just added my clean up crew the other day. Heard that I need to wait a couple weeks before I start adding fish and once I do to do if very slowly, one fish at a time for awhile. What you put in your tank is up to you. Fish, corals, etc. I...

their mouths are open but the tentacles aren't moving around like the third one is. I am assuming they are dead. Am I right??

what else is in the tank?

guess no one knows either....

Received three of them yesterday from swf in clean up crew pkg. Two of them haven't moved just sit there open and their little hair like tentacles barley fully extended. Is this normal or are the dead??? :(

Everything just arrived and just started the acclimation procedure. Everything was alive aside from two pepperment shrimp.
